WorkCover Physiotherapy in Ashfield — Helping You Recover & Return to Work Safely

If you have been injured at work, early physiotherapy treatment can help reduce pain, restore movement and support a safe return to work.

At our Ashfield physiotherapy clinic, we provide evidence-based WorkCover rehabilitation programs tailored to your injury, job demands and recovery goals.

There are 2 ways to commence Physiotherapy treatment - with 8 pre-approved sessions.

1. Have a claim number, with a Certificate of Capacity (COC) from the Nominated Treating Doctor (NTD) stating Physiotherapy is a recommended treatment.

2. No claim number, you cover the cost of the consultation whilst waiting for Insurer approval and subsequently get reimbursed by the Insurer once you get the claim number.
